I was a "Receptionist" the phone would ring maybe.. 5 times a day, 4 of which were trying to sell something so I just ended the call, 1 of which was for the CEO which I had to pass on to their personal secretary..

No. This always annoys me. It is literally designed to puncture you. The entire point of the thing is to not HIT you, but enter you. If it came out the other side however, you may feel a slight pressure to move towards the shooter, as your insides are projected out the back of you.

I find it funny that all these religious activities are essentially pushed to the limits of the "rules" they have given themselves. "fasting" during the day, followed by gluttony. Can't use technology/electricity on Shabbat? create tech that does it for you, or get some heathen to do it for you.
